Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a medical procedure in which hematopoietic stem cells are transplanted into a patient to restore the function of their immune system or blood cells. This procedure is often used to treat various types of blood disorders, including leukemia, lymphoma, and certain types of anemia. HSCT can involve using stem cells from a donor or the patient themselves, depending on the specific condition being treated. The goal of HSCT is to help the patient produce new, healthy blood cells and immune cells to combat their disease.
